Much as I support the sentiment, the petition has been raised by someone who clearly does not understand the honours system.
Unfortunately, he can not be given a knighthood, unless he is already a MBE. To get a MBE, you need to be an OBE.
It's a tier thing.
And it's not the government who decides who should ve put forward. There is a nomination process, and anyone can nominate someone for an honour.
I could, for example, nominate my mum for the years and years of voluntary work she has done.
I'm afraid I very much doubt the petition will achieve anything.
Nice to see he had a guard of honour this morning though |

"He has now hit 11.5 million. Wow just wow  think there’s a call for people to send him a birthday card as a way of thanking him "
It was reported on TV this morning that the local Postman has already been inundated with birthday cards to deliver! |
